Can you see the lunar rover on the moon today?

No. Neither the Hubble or any Earth telescope can see anything on the Moon that is less than one hundred feet across. The LRO took some very interesting pictures of the Apollo sites, though, some of them clear enough you could see the pads on the LM, the trails the astronauts left in the soil, etc.

What nations were involved on the moon landing?

The United States was the only nation involved in the actual manned missions to the moon as part of the Apollo program. However, many other countries around the world, including Australia, Spain, and Sweden, provided support through tracking stations and communication networks.

What might have happened if neil Armstrong had never been born?

Well as far as his walking on the moon....if he hadn't been born someone else would have been up there walking instead.

As for the rest of his accomplishments this could be a really deep discussion item. For one thing he would have no children.

Just like you and me each of us is special in our own way. Something you or Neil Armstrong may have said or done to another person may have had some significant impact on that persons life and so on and so forth. So it would be impossible to quantify what may have changed or been different or not have happened at all if Neil Armstrong had not been born. And...the same can be said of you. Would your mom have done something differently if you had been born earlier or later. See what I mean. Bring this up with your friends and see how many things you can think of. Have a great day (and do something with it).

How long was Apollo 14 on the moon?

Apollo 14 spent 33.5 hours on the Moon's surface, with astronauts Alan Shepard and Edgar Mitchell conducting two moonwalks totaling approximately 9 hours and 23 minutes.

What was left behind on the moon by the astronauts?

The flag, the science gear, their trash, their footprints, the base of the LM (the gold colored part) and, IIRC, a monument to fallen astronauts, and a piece of the Wright Flyer.

The Apollo 11 flag fell over on liftoff (it was just barely sticking in the ground, later flags were made so the astronauts could drive them in better). After 40 years of lunar conditions, it is safe to say the flags are undoubtedly so much powder. They were modified off-the-shelf Sears flags made of nylon, with a "curtain rod" attached to the top so the flag could be deployed as if it were flying.
